[QUOTE="rambot, post: 69550850, member: 145797"] This sounds like a bit of a caricature. I have been through TERRIBLE times and I, as a Christian have never, ever heard those words. Wow. So faith based folks are frequently suffering while those free from the shackles NEVER despair, and NEVER feel betrayed? Cause that's just..... totally incorrect. Also, research bears out that those individuals who call themselves "religiously unaffiliated" have significantly higher suicide rates. Now, that doesn't necessarily mean atheist but it also runs antithetical to the above example of the "faith experience" you provide. And, let's be honest, frequently, those who are contemplating suicide are not necessarily prone to making "logical conclusions with logical solutions" (to them, suicide feels like a VERY logical solution anyways). I don't think suicide has too much to do with spiritual affiliation. But being part of a church/temple/shrine also means you are, defacto, part of a community. And that connections helps. [/QUOTE]
